Snip-n-Tuck Keeper  4

Everyone tries to make a better mouse trap and I think I've made one. 

The first pic to the right shows how the pouch portion is attached with Velcro.  This way if you use the keeper to hold your snippets, it can be removed from the magnet without removing the magnets and scissors from the frame.

The second picture shows how I use my Snip-n-Tuck Keeper; I put my scissors on the top magnet and my hooks in the pouch.  There is a heavy piece of canvas sewn into the bottom to prevent the hooks from penetrating the wool.  The Snip-n-Tuck Keeper is $24 plus shipping. 

I am always creating more styles, colors and shapes, please e-mail me if you wish to see a picture of the ones I have in stock now.

 

           

 The Snip-n-Tuck Keeper has a Velcro  attachment.      The magnets and Velcro are strong      One magnet goes below the backing and one on top.       enough to hold a few hooks inside

  This is another version of the Snip-n-Tuck which is not removable with Velcro.  It is two layers thick in order to make a more substantial pouch using vintage cloth and lace to be decorative.  Again there is a piece of canvas sewn so that the hooks cannot penetrate thru. 

Patriotic Sand Pails was hooked by me using 1/4" wide wool strips and is a design by Polly Minick.  It measures 23 1/2" x 20".  The border is a combination of the stars and chevrons in deep red and navy blue. 

This would make a great wall hanging, floor rug or to display on a chest or table top.  A great piece for a beach house all year round or use during patriotic themed months if you are the type to rotate your accent pieces.  Would also make an excellent gift to someone in the military.  Yours for $290 plus shipping.

Strawberry Patch is a design by Claire Murray and measures 28" x 33".  This is hooked using 100% wool cable yarn ~ it is NOT latch hook, but rather hooked in the traditional way.  $575. plus shipping

A beautiful piece of equipment which will look great among good furniture.  As you can see it has a nice finish and measures 16 1/2" tall, measures 11" square at the base to hold scissors, extra wool, etc.  There are four branches which have room for a total of 16 different colors of wool.  Or, if you count the open ends it would hold 20 different colors (you can see the wool to the far right in this picture).

This is a gently used Wool Strip Caddy which originally sold for $48 and can be yours for $35 plus shipping.
